George

George is a computer whiz. He has an office at the VA ( the little grocery cart sits in a prominent spot) where he handles all of New Directions computer related tasks.
To my eye, George is someone who personifies wisdom. He is serious and joyful and grateful all in a moment.
It is George who made me consider the next wave of veterans who, inevitably, will need the support of this agency. We spoke of the consequences of war and specifically of his own experiences of being in a persistent and deadly war in the DMZ in South Korea that " no one even knows about". He made me consider what it is like to wake up everyday and wonder if this is the day you will be killed.
He, along with the other members of the choir, have traveled a road in life that few of us have. Where they have been and who they are will never cease to awe me. I can't say it enough: these are the heros.
